The band is back with 12 new songs that showcase their signature high-energy bluegrass sound, while also venturing into exciting new territory. The album is true to the classic Tenderbellies’ sound, but also demonstrates the band’s ongoing progression and development, offering their dynamic mix of bluegrass and various other musical influences.

“If there’s one feature prosperous bluegrass endeavors have in common, it’s a synergy resulting from fruitful and durable relationships. Picking and singing together a few nights here and there can’t fabricate those bonds. But through commitment over the course of time, and by way of shared experiences on and off the stage, The Tenderbellies have developed a deep level of comfort and trust.” – Seven Days

Forest Station is a Vermont-based bluegrass band with a sound that’s as adventurous as it is tight. Formed by guitarist Eli Martell-Crawford and mandolinist Alex Skowron, the group took shape after moving from the Rocky Mountains to the Green Mountains, where they joined forces with banjoist Thomas Bryce. With bassist Rob Strasenburgh and fiddler Silas Hamilton in tow, their music blends the heart-pounding energy of bluegrass with spontaneous jams that keep audiences on their toes.

Their debut album, Earth Tones (2024), reflects their deep connection to nature and their innovative approach to traditional string music. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes that surround them, Forest Station is quickly becoming a staple of the New England festival scene, where they continue to push the boundaries of bluegrass while staying rooted in its rich history.
